WILMINGTON, Del., June 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Rigrodsky & Long, P.A.:

  • Do you own shares of The Ryland Group, Inc. (NYSE: RYL)?
  • Did you purchase any of your shares prior to June 15, 2015?
  • Do you think the proposed merger value is too low?
  • Do you want to discuss your rights?

Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. announces that it is investigating potential legal claims against the board of directors of The Ryland Group, Inc. ("Ryland" or the "Company") (NYSE: RYL) regarding possible breaches of fiduciary duties and other violations of law related to the Company's entry into an agreement to merge with Standard Pacific Corp. ("Standard Pacific") (NYSE: SPF).

Under the terms of the agreement, Ryland shareholders will receive 1.0191 shares of Standard Pacific common stock for each share of Ryland common stock (which would be 5.0957 shares prior to giving effect to the announced 1 for 5 reverse stock split). Upon closing of the transaction, Standard Pacific stockholders will own approximately 59% and Ryland shareholders will own approximately 41% of the combined company.

The investigation concerns whether Ryland's board of directors failed to adequately shop the Company and obtain the best possible value for Ryland's shareholders before entering into an agreement with Standard Pacific.
